    Heated Seats for a Yanmar !

    Some tractors have cabs or canopies with some side shielding or wind deflectors. With older cabs, it's too costly to repair the heater. Here we are in the modern era. Works on a tractor seat too. :love: https://www.farmandfleet.com/products/1441628-ergo-drive-12v-heated-seat-cushion.html...

    Headlamps from P15D-25 incandescent to HALOGENS.

    My goal was to keep the OE look to the YM machine. I've seen the LED headlamps and it took away the natural era look. Yet, finding the P15D-25 bulbs at a good price is a pain. And typically what you do find is the 25W/25W vs the OE 25W/35W (low/high beam). After consulting a few vehicle...
